last SG · 2006-12-07T21:22:49+00:00

Today two Sv200 (1 strider and SBS1895D) almost bunch (SBS 1895 D) was supposed to be the bus in front of mine. The strider and my mk2 met at South Buona Vi...

If that is the case, Kent Ridge Terminal will be very crowded....

no need.. the walking distance from Hlannd village to Holland Drive isn't very far.. probably 5-10mins walking..

also, 200 frequency at 30mins is hopeless, and hardly anyone alights at holland..

95 calls at holland is better, allow NUS, NUH people go there boost the econo0my

brotherchen1982 SG

Go City also faster. Mr. Green

If remember correctly, there used to have a bus service 202 or 216 that call between Holland Drive and NUS, donkey years ago. Anyone can recall?

based on ur description, 216 fits the bill. buona vista was formerly known as commonwealth ave terminal, because there wasn’t a commonwealth avenue west beyond the malayan railway in the 70s, and buses terminated there. buona vista estate was supposed to be neighbourhood 5 of commonwealth new town.

If Service 216 still up and running, it could cut down many loads from SBST96. As Service 216 can pick up NUS students at Dover station instead. Maybe it could offload the train between Dover and Clementi as well.

I think 216 initally served the inital batches of completed NUS bldg, which I believe is the Engineering side

Haha... I dunno that NUS used to have this "Island View Road"....

Seriously, a service between NUS and Dover MRT would be good, especially for those who take MRT from the east. 96 is always crowded and the eastbound traffic on C'wealth Ave West during morning peak hour is horrendous... (The right turn from C'wealth Ave West to Clementi Rd always take an eternity) A bus from Dover MRT to NUS would be faster, since there's no traffic junction between Dover MRT and Clementi Rd...

nus compared to ntu, has got so many trunk svcs to other regions of sg

ntu only got 2 feeder to boon lay, perhaps it's time they do something to ntu services

SBS9888Y SG

nus and ntu distance is far apart… if more svces to ntu where does it terminate then… jurong east? buona vista? town? east?... east to far liao… nus at least still more centralised compared with NIE/NTU

^tamago^ SG

i have suggested a peak hour service from CCK in 2004 along the lines of 172e but Tibs didn't want it...

in the same manner, SBS Transit wants to take pax to its own interchanges/terminals and not an area that is exclusive to SMRT's, and if it had to review 96's routing it will definitely choose Clementi Int over Dover MRT.

"After the Occupation, the British army would continue to maintain a strong presence on the Ridge, and campus grounds were barracks of other ranks and NCOs of the British army. "Island View Road" still ran through the central part of NUS to what is now Kent Ridge Road. Then quarters for officers, access by civllians were restricted.

During a visit to this military area by the then Duchess and Duke of Kent (I believe they were mother and son), the area was named Kent Ridge. The Duchess was the Princess Marina of Greece, and the son was a Prince Edward Duke of Kent.The missing husband and father was a Prince George, who had died in 1942 in a plane crash."

Hmm... Interesting... Kent Ridge Rd and Island View Rd used to be linked... But now Kent Ridge Rd and Kent Ridge Crescent are separated by the Central Library. And the place where Kent Ridge Terminal is now located used to be a chicken farm!

Is the amemded service 200 looping at Kent Ridge Terminal? The notice did not say it is a loop service but from its website it says so.

And also i heard that sv95 have 4 shortworking trips, 95A, 95B, 95C and new 95D. Can list down where each of the 4 shortworking trips start and end and also the timing?

carbikebus SG

Don't worry,I believe there will be new service plying Dover MRT to somewhere nearby NUS Very Happy

Great Stunt Laughing

no wonder original 95 frequency is like 30 mind

anyway, the old trips:

95A: morning peak, From BNV Terminal to NUH, but the buses hardly starts from holland Drive, and the desto says its a loop service

95B: Evening peak service from kent ridge to BNV MRT

95C: Morning peak service from opp BNV MRT to Lower Kent Ridge, Kent Ridge Hall.. the most frequent service

another joker is 92A.. in the mornings, commences from anywhere, but "terminates" at its terminating point, which is science park I

SBS9176T SG

The board that says (10,33,95,151,200) at Kent Ridge Ter says 200 is Stage 11 at Kent Ridge Ter means it loops at Kent Ridge.

brotherchen1982 SG

95D

Kent Ridge Terminal -> Holland Rd(Holland Village)
